Abstract
Some embodiments provide a network device that may receive alignment information at each physical connection of a network interface of the network device. Each alignment information includes a unique value for identifying a unique logical lane associated with the corresponding physical connection. The network device may determine the order of the unique logical lanes associated with the several physical connections based on the received alignment information. The network device may configure a cross point switch of the network device to reorder the physical connections so that the unique logical lanes associated with the physical connections are ordered according to a defined order.
